据美联社最新消息,美国国防部官员证实,美军导弹已经打中其间谍卫星。美国五角大楼官员表示,导弹是北京时间11时30分发射升空,命中失控间谍卫星的。

美国两名五角大楼官员透露,从美国军舰上发射的一枚导弹成功命中美国间谍卫星。当时卫星正从距离地球130英里高空掠过。透露消息的一名国防部官员是此次行动的负责人,他表示从初步情况来看,已经打中,但细节还不知道。至于满载有毒燃料的燃料箱是否破裂要一天或者更长时间才知道。

    美军拦截失控毒卫星 追踪

  美国海军使用导弹击毁故障卫星的计划可能将于美国东部时间20日晚实施。美国政府已经发出通知,要求飞机和船只20日晚远离太平洋一处洋面及其上空;装备有“宙斯盾”反导弹防卫系统和“标准—3”型导弹的“伊利湖”号巡洋舰已在夏威夷以西数百公里外就位待命。

    最早今日实施

  美国14日宣布击毁卫星计划,但至今还未公布行动具体时间表。

  美联社20日报道,美国军方已经发出通知,要求飞机和船只于美国东部时间20日21时30分(北京时间21日10时30分)起,远离夏威夷以西太平洋一处面积很大的海域及其上空。美联社认为,这显示,美国发射拦截导弹的第一个“时间窗”即将开启。

  www.space.com网站报道,第一“时间窗”将于美国东部时间21日凌晨零时(北京时间21日13时)关闭,如果在此期间没有实施行动,美国东部时间21日21时30分至22日零时(北京时间22日10时30分至13时),还有同样两个半小时的第二“时间窗”。

  报道还说,自失控卫星发射后便密切监控卫星运行的观测人员计算,这颗卫星大约在美国东部时间20日22时33分(北京时间21日11时33分)从美军通知远离的海域上空飞过。

    国防部长下令

  美国国防部目前仍未确认通知与击毁卫星计划有关联。五角大楼新闻秘书杰夫·莫雷尔说,国防部将在击毁行动开始前一个小时内发表声明宣布导弹发射的具体时间。

  “是否发射及何时发射将由国防部长决定。”莫雷尔说,这是美国总统乔治·W·布什在听取汇报后确定的做法。美国防部长盖茨将于美国东部时间20晚动身前往印度、印尼和澳大利亚,美国广播公司说,他可能会在途中下令击毁卫星。

  计划用于击毁卫星的“标准—3”型导弹将用红外感应器寻找目标,并在距离地面150英里(约277公里)的高空击毁卫星。

    电脑模拟拦截

  美国一家计算机公司20日制作了一个导弹和卫星相撞的计算机模拟。这个模型展示了美国在北太平洋海域部署了美军海军舰只,美国海军舰只向失控卫星发射一枚“标准—3”型导弹。导弹和卫星将以每小时36667公里的速度相撞。模拟图显示,卫星在高空被击毁后形成的碎片将首先穿越南美与非洲大陆,然后到达亚洲大陆,飞越俄罗斯领土后坠入大海或在大气层中消失。

Missile hits dying US spy satellite
By ROBERT BURNS
AP Military Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Navy missile soaring 130 miles above the Pacific smashed a dying and potentially deadly U.S. spy satellite Wednesday and probably destroyed a tank carrying 1,000 pounds of toxic fuel, officials said.

Officials had expressed cautious optimism that the missile would hit the satellite, which was the size of a school bus. But they were less certain of hitting the smaller, more problematic fuel tank, whose contents posed what Bush administration officials deemed a potential health hazard to humans if it landed intact.

In a statement announcing that the Navy missile struck the satellite, the Pentagon said, "Confirmation that the fuel tank has been fragmented should be available within 24 hours." It made no mention of early indications, but a defense official close to the situation said later that officials monitoring the collision saw what appeared to be an explosion, indicating that the fuel tank was hit.

The USS Lake Erie, armed with an SM-3 missile designed to knock down incoming missiles - not orbiting satellites - launched the attack at 10:26 p.m. EST, according to the Pentagon. It hit the satellite about three minutes later as the spacecraft traveled in polar orbit at more than 17,000 mph.

Because the satellite was orbiting at a relatively low altitude at the time it was hit by the missile, debris will begin to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere immediately, the Pentagon statement said.
"Nearly all of the debris will burn up on re-entry within 24-48 hours and the remaining debris should re-enter within 40 days," it said.

The use of the Navy missile amounted to an unprecedented use of components of the Pentagon's missile defense system, designed to shoot down hostile ballistic missiles in flight - not kill satellites.
The operation was so extraordinary, with such intense international publicity and political ramifications, that Defense Secretary Robert Gates - not a military commander - was to make the final decision to pull the trigger.

The government organized hazardous materials teams, under the code name "Burnt Frost," to be flown to the site of any dangerous or otherwise sensitive debris that might land in the United States or elsewhere.

Also, six federal response groups that are positioned across the country by the Federal Emergency Management Agency have been alerted but not activated, FEMA spokesman James McIntyre said. "These are purely precautionary and preparedness actions only," he said.
